There is great merit in sticking with something long enough that you actually benefit from your own mistakes. But we hope to make things a bit easier by sharing some of the mistakes we've made - from email marketing, understanding how to talk about yourself and your work and simply not knowing how to sell paintings because they are so mysteriously different.
\nWe have a great listener question: \u201cWhen do you decide when a painting is finished? So often, I like what I see, but want to push forward for something even more dynamic. I am nervous that I will mess it up (and I have!). But...always afraid I am not reaching my full potential in a particular painting if I give up too early. Help!\u201d We have some time based suggestions - and also the two types of fear you may be having around finishing a work.
\nFinally, we are inspired by different reactions to art in completely different contexts and scale. And Riley has a reaction to the postman ;-)
